Houston police sergeant punished for naked pics

A Houston police sergeant has agreed to be demoted after an uproar over naked photos of her posted online.

The Houston Police Officers Union attorney told KPRC-TV on Tuesday that Stacey Suro had accepted the police chief’s recommendation for demotion to officer along with a significant pay cut. She’ll now work in the department’s property room near downtown.

The decision followed an internal affairs investigation that started in September after she posted photos on ModelMayhem.com. Some of the nearly 100 photos showed her nude, and others in fetish gear.

Before Suro took down the content, KPRC-TV found a bio in which Suro called herself “Tessoro” and said she was a model.

The department’s conduct policy states that “employees shall exhibit professional conduct at all times and shall not engage in any activity, including unlawful activity that would degrade or bring disrespect upon the employee or the department.”
